Reviews of World Music available in Ballarat

5/5 from 1,417 reviews
Photo of Mariachi Bronco Mariachi Bronco "Fantastic! We had a lovely time listening to all of the wonderful mexican and latin music from two very talented musicians. Pedro was very easy to work with, communicative, and very kindly and gracefully worked with us to accomodate changes to the plan and location after signing the contract. Could not recommend them more!"

His skill and emotion make each piece unforgettable, truly inspiring and a joy to watch." Based in Melbourne, Victoria (63 miles from Ballarat) Azer Nesirli - International Diaspora Ceremony Photo of Filippo Accordionist Filippo Accordionist "Filippo was extremely professional in his delivery of Italian accordion music for both dinner and dancing. His presence brought a light charm and joy to the room. He managed to create this appropriate tone with ease. Many of the guests at this 40th birthday party joined in dancing to his well paced pieces." Based in Melbourne, Victoria (63 miles from Ballarat) Filippo Accordionist - Private birthday party. Photo of AIRE Flamenco AIRE Flamenco "Flamenco Y Cuba is a must-see at FRINGE WORLD. Clicking castanets, twirling shawls, and vibrant colours bring the heart and soul of Cuba to Perth. Flamenco dancers Valeria and Maree are captivating in their traje de flamenco. Filled with the passion and expression that is distinctly flamenco, they are foot-stomping and hand-clapping dervishes on the stage. Hailing from Havana, guitarist Ernesto Enriquez Castillo brings the heart and soul of Cuban music to the stage with his seemingly effortless talent-his fingers performing their own graceful dance across the guitar. He is accompanied by Perth's very own percussionist, Steve Richter, who plays a myriad of eclectic instruments, from drums to boxes, bongos, and chimes. The trio is rounded off with the smooth sounds and heavy beats of the double bass. Together, this fabulous ensemble brings the sounds and rhythms of Cuba to Perth. Get to Aces Downstairs at His Majesty's Theatre and be captivated by the culture, music, and passion of Cuba!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for world music on Gig Heaven is $800, with rates from $210 to $2,900+. Cost depends on the number of musicians, performance duration and the musical tradition involved. World music spans an enormous range of styles and instrumentation, so the format and scale of the act are the main pricing factors.

The world music acts include performers from a vast range of musical traditions including African, Latin, Asian, Middle Eastern, Celtic, Caribbean, Balkan and many more. Many acts offer fusion styles that blend traditional sounds with modern genres.

Hiring world music suits a wide range of events including multicultural weddings, corporate diversity events, international festivals, themed parties, cultural celebrations and educational workshops. World music brings authentic cultural experiences to events and appeals to diverse audiences.

Many world music acts specialise in the music of particular regions or cultures and can provide an authentic experience including traditional instruments, costumes and customs. To get the best results, specify the cultural tradition you are looking for when browsing or making an enquiry.

Many world music acts offer drumming circles, dance workshops or music-making sessions as part of their booking. These interactive elements are popular at festivals, corporate events and school programmes. It is advisable to ask about workshop options when contacting performers.

Most world music acts bring their own traditional instruments, which are often rare or specialist items not readily available. For workshops where participants need instruments, these are usually provided by the performer. Gig Heaven recommends confirming what is included.

Line-ups run from a solo player to ensembles of eight or more, and the tradition usually sets the shape: some styles are built around a group of players while others centre on one or two instruments. Smaller line-ups suit ceremonies, receptions and background playing, while larger groups suit festivals and outdoor events. Supplier profiles list the sizes each act offers, and many will quote for more than one.

Many acts perform in the language of the tradition they play, and some mix that with English-language material across a set. Where the audience is mixed, performers often introduce songs briefly so the room follows what is coming. Ask at the enquiry stage if the balance matters, as it is usually straightforward to adjust.

Acts using large traditional instruments need more floor space than a standard stage plan allows, and some perform standing or moving through the room rather than from one spot. Performances that move need a route agreed with the venue rather than a stage. Giving the act the room dimensions and saying whether the performance is fixed or moving lets them advise on what fits.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
